My exhaust is leaking around the header, where can i find some copper gaskets for where the header meets the head?

I use the felpro gaskets 1215 maybe or 1250 and they do not leak a bit. The key is to get the right bolts. I'd check summitracing.com for the copper ones if you need them.

I have had great luck with the 1415s. Never a leak!

The trick with paper gaskets is to soak them in water for about 15 minutes, then bolt them up.
That said, I used the Percy's gaskets from Summit

after you install the new gaskets get some locking header bolts since i installed the headers with those i haven't had a header leak.

The stock header gaskets on the 4.6L's are copper, and work great. I would go with copper ones definately.
